Overview

The SetWorkingDir command is used to define the working directory for a set of commands. The working directory, when set properly, can greatly simplify commands files because relative file paths can be used for input and output. The working directory is normally set in one of the following ways, with the current setting being defined by the most recent item that has occurred:

1. The startup directory for the StateDMI program,
2. The directory where a commands file was opened,
3. The directory where a commands file was saved,
4. The directory specified by a SetWorkingDir command,
5. The directory specified by File / Set Working Directory.

In most cases, a SetWorkingDir command is not needed. However, for complicated command files, it may be necessary to change the working directory from one directory to another. Setting the working directory to an absolute path causes all relative paths for input and output files to be appended to the working directory

Command Editor
